A pretty and very fresh nose combines notes of various red berry

(from Les Cras and Les Avaux)

An extremely fresh nose offers up notes of both red and dark currant

Still a deep ruby color that displays only a touch of lightening at the rim and that impression of youthfulness is reinforced by the distinctly earthy nose that exhibits moderate secondary development but certainly no sous bois
